While praising the Hindu Ekta Manch (HEM), formed in defense of the accused in the Kathua case, Sharma appealed Hindus for boycotting the Muslims.
Ankur Sharma, lawyer defending the accused in the gang-rape and murder case of the Kathua girl has appealed Hindus of Jammu province to not sell their land and properties to Muslims and stop buying milk and dairy produce from Gujjars, mainstay of the nomadic community.
A seven-minute video making rounds over social media shows Sharma saying Muslims believe Hindus were powerless.But we are not,” Sharma can be heard saying in the video.
While praising the Hindu Ekta Manch (HEM), formed in defense of the accused in the Kathua case, Sharma appealed Hindus for boycotting the Muslim nomadic communities of Gujjar and Bakerwals.
“Hindus shall also make it sure that they will not purchase anything, especially milk and other dairy products from Gujjars and Bakerwals,” Sharma says.
“We have to ensure that we are not making them financially strong, because if they will become financially strong they will purchase our lands.”
Apparently instigating a communal confrontation, Sharma alleges the Gujjar and Bakerwal Muslim communities were not original residents of the state but were brought from Punjab to affect change in land ownership in the Hindu-majority areas of Jammu region.
